Generally you need the "with". Anyone who thinks "...appointment to meet you..." is correct is taking sloppy spoken English and assuming that makes acceptable written English. It doesn't.
Are you going to lose a job or client or promotion if you drop the "with"? Only if the recipient speaks English better than you do and gives a rat's butt. So probably not. But the only correct answer is to include "with".
HOWEVER, "with" does not make any sense in the context your using. You need "between". Much better to say:
"The purpose of this fax is to request an appointment (or courtesy call) between yourself and Mr. Alex, Mr. George and Mr. Dany."

keep it in there.
to request and appointment to meet you sounds as if you have never met them before and this would be the absolute first meeting with this client.
you on the other hand are making an appointment to reiterate facts on a meeting and possibly introduce new persons. to meet with is actually correct.
however I would reword it just a hair different...
The purpose of this fax is to request an appointment to meet with you, Mr. Alex, Mr. George and Mr. Danny. You do not necessarily need to include it is about a courtesy call. [possibly you...Alex,George, Dany and the client are the only ones meeting]

please delete the "with". It's unnecessary there. In fact, you could delete "to meet with you"
The purpose of this fax is to request an appointment for a courtesy call by M/s Alex, George and Mr. Dany.
Merry Christmas!!!!

Including "with" is more formal and polite.

With is optional here, but to include it is more formal and businesslike.
